Hello amazing parent or guardian. I am in my ninth year as a professional educator in Fayette County. With an undergraduate degree in Business Administration, a Master of Arts in Teaching degree, twenty plus years in the business field, and a passion for ancient history and indigenous peoples studies, I am excited to help your child understand 7th grade social studies standards in Post Classical world history.
My teaching philosophy is rooted in a passion for helping students learn how to critically think about the content they are learning with the expectation that all students can excel in academics. This requires support from parents and guardians, hard work from students, and exceptional classroom practices from the teacher. Our classroom brings history alive through interactive projects, emotional learning, cooperative learning activities, and independent study. I am thankful for the opportunity to help your child learn more about the world that has been and how ancient history connects to them now.
I am blessed with an amazing wife, a son and daughter, and two foster daughters, and a foster son. When I am not preparing lessons or teaching, I most enjoy spending time with my family, working in my workshop making Native American style flutes, or hiking deep in the Red River Gorge. You can reach me anytime at david.dicks@fayette.kyschools.us
